Why are United Utilities dumping waste in the sea at Blackpool. Three alerts this morning from the Safer Seas App. I’ll be writing to my new MP.

I have not known racism in the U.K. like it is now since the 70’s. I never expected to see the majority of MP’s joining their ranks and supporting a Zionist genocide.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Leaving Europe effectively gave a mandate to the Torys to turn the clock back 150 years. The same deprivations that existed then are beginning to rise. The old diseases making a comeback. No doubt soon we will be throwing our effluent out on to the streets.

https://promisedlandmuseum.org/hajo-meyer/ The Zionists have become the very thing they espoused to never let happen again. Israel is a rogue state, out of control and supported by the west.

@npub15l4…4mdt Nice photo with a caveat. My uncle held the Hood Award of the Royal Photographic Society. He said, “ When ever taking reflections like this, always throw something in to create a ripple, so people know which way is up”. You can tell me to ‘P’ off or add your own thoughts. Great picture nevertheless. 👍

@npub1g0t…tvm4 If the moral fortitude of parliamentary governance is not returned, no amount of fiscal policies are going to address the root of the problem, which I am sure we both know is greed.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Obesity, processed foods, lack of imagination, lack of time and in some cases laziness. It is easier to choose quantity over quality because of its simplicity. A small nutritious meal can cost the same as an unhealthy one, but it may not be as filling or tasty. You know all too well that we eat far more than we need, but so many are using food to cope with life’s problems. No different to alcohol or drugs in my opinion.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 The problem with politics: no one would choose a carpenter for an operation, or a surgeon to be a farrier. Yet politicians are from all walks of life, yet rarely qualified to do the work they are allocated.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I consider myself very fortunate, my father was working 3 jobs at one time whilst trying to climb the greasy pole. Although they considered themselves middle class, it was an illusion, but their drive must have rubbed off on my brother and I. Sadly I have no contact with my sibling, I know him to be comfortably off to the tune of at least a million pounds in property and savings; for him Uni and his choices made all the difference.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Interesting to contrast when I left school at 15, with no hope or ambition. Far fewer applied for uni, but the apprenticeship system was far better. My brother was the first in our family to go to uni, I joined the London Ambulance Service at 19, eventually becoming a paramedic. There were disaffected kids then and now; when I left school jobs were plenty, leave one, start another the following day. Don’t know who has it better between now and then?

@npub1trd…ussx In the NHS ambulance service before it became so, I paid into a superannuated pension which continued throughout my service. The government is clearly inept at managing money because the superannuated pension paid out more than the state pension for half the time required to earn it.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 At 69, with advanced osteoarthritis and a recently fractured spine, (otherwise fit and healthy) I am looking for work, any work; I might as well be searching for the Holy Grail. I have to work if I don’t want to freeze or starve, and euthanasia is far too expensive. I believe Johnson summed up the concerns this government has for older people. Currently I’m trying to become a parcel courier self employed.

The government will throw extraordinary amounts of money at vanity projects, but fail to address the real issues with society. They know the ship is holed below the waterline, their response is to issue more buckets.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I do remember when accountants didn’t run the world. A time before Human Resources, innocently known as the Personnel Department. When police officers were trusted and trustworthy and politicians fell on their swords when exposed for wrongdoing. A time when apprenticeships were a path to a career. The MSM had some integrity and investigative journalists exposed the truth. A job was for life and retirement wasn’t something to be afraid of.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 It’s happening in the charity sector too. I visited several major high street charity shop’s yesterday in hope of finding an affordable dining room table. What I can only describe as matchwood was selling for £100. Similar items on marketplace selling for around £10 to £20. I appreciate that charities need to make money, but they get the stuff for free. A more charitable price tag would see a faster profit for the people they allegedly serve.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 The longevity of the Tory party is a testament to greed: Always playing the long game, undeterred by sociological changes. Since their inception they have conceded minor changes to gain popularity, but their true unambiguous nature revealed itself in 2019 with a landslide victory. With no opposition they press their relentless destruction of the state toward the objective of subjugation through, poverty and fear.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 It does seem that former holders of high office don’t die, they just keep trying to be re-elected: Trump, Johnson, Truss. Rejection doesn’t mean the same to them as it does with most of us. I see all of this as a distraction to the real and very important issues of the day.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 You have hit the nail on the head. An education system should leave no one behind and I wouldn’t advocate my solution as being an answer. As you say, not everyone has the choices that we did. The big question is, how do we turn it around? Lower fee private schools closing down will result in an influx of students in an already devastated state education system.

2023-09-28 08:00:40

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I come at this from a different perspective. When my son was becoming disaffected by the state education, we moved our children to private education, where they both flourished. One is a senior management and recruitment consultant, the other an environmental scientist. It cost everything we had, but it was worth every penny. Not all of those in private education have wealthy families. Currently I haven’t two half pennies to knock together. No regrets.

No one voted for Rishi Sunak, his racist thugs or his policies, yet here we are. People wonder how Hitler was allowed to rise to power and the answer is simple. Because no one lifted a fucking finger to stop him.

Sir Kid Starver joins the Torys in the farcical attempt to stop the small boats. REJOINING THE EU WOULD BE A GOOD START!!!!
Instead they faff about trying to prosecute people smugglers for whom there is no U.K. jurisdiction. It’s all bollox, the Torys and Labour will not do the one thing that can sort out 50% of the U.K. ‘s problems.

My beautiful mixed race granddaughter, is one month old, the love I have for her and her parents cannot be written in words. What future will she have if I continue to sit on my hands and watch racists and bigots destroy her world. Rise up, we were not born to be subjugated, no one should have less of what they need to survive, just because of where and to whom they were born.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 It is probably the oldest form of control: It culminates in one of two ways, revolution or submission. France, it was revolution, Russia, submission. The only difference is the narrative of how it is sold. My evidence is Brexit.

I’m pretty much out of rants today, due to the latest mental health breakdown. My general well being and in particular mental health has worsened exponentially since 2019, when all hope of democracy was destroyed. The Torys very own version of Kristallnacht ‘When they came for the rest of us’, because we had done nothing to stop them.

As a Brit the Trump story is largely irrelevant other than recognising the harm he has done to US citizens. However, it does give me hope that one day, we might see Johnson and his cohort similarly indisposed for the havoc they have reeked on this country. If he were to stand trial, I think we could safely say that the Torys would at last be consigned to history.

None more so than my rescues who would otherwise have been killed.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Deregulation of bus services led to the rise of profiteering entrepreneurs with less than satisfactory or suitable vehicles. Whilst many have fallen by the wayside, there is still profitable income from subsidised routes and those with a large number of bus pass holders. It’s another example of government abandoning communities to cowboy operators who simply drop less profitable routes or pass them on to even less concerned operators.
